CLARENCE DARROW
A Small-Town Insult Made Him the Great
est Criminal Lawyer of His Time
Nearly three-quarters of a cen
tury ago, a school teacher boxed
the ears of a little boy iwcause
he was resUese and fidgety and
squirming in his seat. ®iie boxed
his ears so that he cried all the
way home. He was only five years
old at the time, but he felt that
he had been treated with cruelty
aud injustiice; he learned to hate
cruelty and Injustice with a hat
red that has kept him fighting all
ins life.
The boy’s name was Clarence
Darrow, today probably the best-
known criminal lawyer in Amer
ica—and certainly the greatest
criminal lawyer of his time. His
name has flashed time and again
in bold headlines across every
newspaper in the land. He is a
crusader, a rebel, a fighter, and
a c-iiampion of the underdog.
The first case he over handled
is still talked about by the old-
timers in Asilitabula. Ohio. The
burning issue involved nothing
more vital than the ownership of
a second-liand set of Itarnees
worth five dollars. But to Clar
ence Darrow there was a princi
ple at stake. Injustice had raised
its snarling head and he fought
as he would have fought a Bengal
liger. He was paid only five dol
lars to fight the case; but he
foj.ght it at his own expense,
through seven courts for seven
years—and won it.
Darrow says he has never been
ambitions for money or prestige.
He says he has always been a
lazy cuss. He started out in life
teaching in a country .school. One
day an incident happened which
changed his winole career. There
was a blacksmith in town who
studied law wlien he wasn’t busy
shoeing horses. Clarence Darrow
heard this blacksmith argue a
law case in the tinsmith’s shop.
He was- fascinated with the wit
and eloquence of the.se country
spellbinders. He loved a scrap
liimtelf; so he borrowed the
blacksmith's law hooks and began
to study law. On Monday he
wo’ild take his law hook.s to
■school, and while his pn^iils were
-Studying geography or arithmetic
he thumbed tbrough the pages of
hi.s Blackstoiie.
He admits he might have re-
inninod a country lawyer all his
day; if something nadn’t happen
ed !o goad him into action.
He and his wife decided to buy
a small house in Ashtabula. Ohio,
from a denti.st. The price was
thirty-five hundred dollars. Dar
row drew live hundred dollars
made ten ttmre as much—three
thousand dollars—ea, a special
attorney for the city.
“When my luck began to
change,” Darrow says, ‘‘every
thing seemed rapidly to come my
way.’ Before long he was gen
eral attorney for the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway Company
and well on his way to a big-
money career. Then there was an
explosion. A strike. Hatred! Ri
ots! Bloodshed!
Harrow’s sym/pathies were on
the side of the strikers. When
Eugene Debs, head of thg lailroad
union was called to trial Dar
row threw up his job; and in
stead of defending the ailroads,
he defended the strikers. That
w'as the first of Darrow’.s fiery,
sensational trials—every one of
them a milestone in court room
history. Take for example the
famous case of Iieopold and Loeb
confessed murderers of little Bob
by Frank. Public opinion was so
shocked, so horrified, at the bru
tality of the crime that when
Clarence Darrow undertook the
defense of the two murderers, he
w'as reviled' and persecuted and
callod worse than a criminal for
daring to defend the guilty boys.
And Why did he do It? ‘‘I went
in.’’ Darrow says, “to do what I
could against the wave of hatred
and malice. No client of mine has
ever been put to death and it that
should ever happen I feel it would
almost kill me. I have never been
able to read the story of an ex-j-
cuiion. I always left if possible on
the day of a hanging. I am
strongly against killing.’’
Society makes criminals, he
say.;, and any man might be guil
ty of any crime.
Darrow him.self 'has known
what it is to face trial. He was
once accused of bribing a jury,
and had to use his powerful elo
quence in his owr defense. The
moist touching expression o f
gratitude he ever experienced
was during his own trial. A for
mer client of his met him and
said, “Li.sten, you saved me from
the gallows when I was in trouble
and ’.ow you are in trouble a.*d
I’d like to help you out. I’ll be
glad to kill the chief witness a-
.gainst you and it won’t cost you
a cent.”
.\ few years ago, Darrow pub
lished a book, the story of his
life and I remember I stayed a-
wak" far into the nlglil reading
the chapter in wliich he o’ltHned
his jihilosophy of life.
I am not sure of liow much or
